Four years ago, the Atlanta Falcons held a three-score lead in the NFC Championship Game and watched their Super Bowl dream slip away.

Suffice it to say, Matt Ryan and Co. learned their lesson.

Ryan threw for 392 yards and four touchdowns, adding another on the ground as the Falcons earned a dominant 44-21 win over the Green Bay Packers to win the 2017 NFC championship.

Dude Perfect commented on Ryan's performance:

It's the Falcons' second Super Bowl appearance in franchise history. Their first was at Super Bowl XXXIII, where they lost to the Denver Broncos in John Elway's final NFL game.
